In that instant, Yi Anguo ran through every position he could think of; he was already planning that once this whole thing was over, he'd go home and give Hu Jing a very nice "reward."

"Sit down first!" Snapping back to his senses, Yi Anguo hurriedly motioned for everyone to sit. The sisters were very sensible and gave up the two seats in the very middle.

Once Guo Aihua sat down, Yi Anguo finally smiled and said, "Um… let me introduce you. These are all my bosom confidantes."

Hearing the words "bosom confidantes," Li Sisi almost burst out laughing.

No wonder he calls himself cultured—those four words were used really cleverly, and they let people's imagination run wild. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"This is Hu Jing, this is Li Sisi, this is Li Shanshan, and this is Chen Ting…"

When he got to Zhao Liying and Yang Mi, Guo Aihua cut him off.

"I know these two. You're from the entertainment industry, right? The dramas you act in are really popular where we are too."

As she spoke, she shot Yi Anguo a vicious glare. "I really didn't expect you could even hook up with these stunning big stars from showbiz. Looks like you play quite wild in private."

Zhao Liying and Yang Mi were extremely awkward.

The two of them had barely interacted in their early years, and in the last few years they'd even had a few competing projects, so it had been a long time since they'd appeared at the same dinner table.

This time they'd shown up for Yi Anguo, and both felt a bit uncomfortable about it.

"We just know each other through business…" Yi Anguo gave a guilty little laugh, then looked over at Li Tingting beside him.

Li Tingting was shy by nature; if Li Sisi hadn't strongly recommended her back then, Yi Anguo wouldn't even have realized this little girl also had feelings for him.

Right now, Yi Anguo was throwing flirty glances at Li Tingting.

Seeing this, Li Sisi deliberately cleared her throat. "Pretty much all the sisters are here. Except for one, Liu Yifei, who's also in the entertainment circle. She must have something going on today, so she didn't come."

Guo Aihua nodded. "I know Liu Yifei too. I heard she's not only developing in China now; her momentum abroad is pretty good as well—she's a total goddess-level figure."

The dishes were all on the table now, and Guo Aihua silently noted down each of these people's names in her mind.

She took the initiative to pick up her wine glass and said, "Sisters, we've all mixed in the business world; we're all people who understand the bigger picture. So let's skip the empty talk today. I want to go back to his hometown with Yi Anguo and meet the people over there."

"Even though I won't actually go get a real marriage certificate with him, I will still hold a banquet in his hometown, and in the future…"

Guo Aihua's meaning was very clear: even though the certificate the two of them had was fake, in the eyes of the people around Yi Anguo, Guo Aihua would be his official wife.

The sisters around them all sucked in a sharp breath.

Sure enough! Guo Aihua was not someone to be trifled with this time.

Yi Anguo didn't dare lift his head; he felt that no matter whose eyes he met, he'd be sliced to pieces a thousand times over by their gaze.

After a brief silence, Hu Jing was the first to raise her head. "President Guo, I know you're of high status and you haven't really suffered losses abroad, but about holding a banquet in his hometown, I think this still needs to be carefully considered."

Hu Jing chose her words very skillfully, but it still couldn't hide the faint smell of gunpowder slowly spreading in the air.

"We've all gotten along peacefully here in China for so many years, everyone tacitly understanding without spelling things out, and we've never brought up President Yi's hometown. After all, only in this way can the few of us coexist harmoniously," Hu Jing continued.

"It's true that a few sisters did hold fake wedding banquets before, but the guests were all close friends from their own circles, and they never dragged President Yi's family into it. I think President Guo should think this through as well."

"We're all sisters here—if things get too ugly, it won't be good for President Yi either!"
